HHS Assistant Health Secretary Adm. Brian Christine says the risk of Hantavirus to the general public remains “very, very low.”

Compiled Risk Estimates:
(Concise, from Official/Expert Sources) I synthesized from CDC, WHO, historical data, and expert analyses—no major independent simulations project high US spread due to poor transmissibility.

General US public (no cruise exposure):
<0.0001% annual individual risk (extremely low).
Baseline ~20–40 cases/year in ~340M population.
No evidence of increased community transmission from ship event.
Routine travel/normal activities unchanged.

THAT don't hardly say it.
Its even less than that.
These people have whole agencies monitoring them and "they won't get away".
MEDIA HYPE.

They’re trying to drum up fear of hantavirus. It’s extremely rare and iiirc it doesn’t pass from human to human, it’s in mouse droppings. In OR there were two cases a few years ago.
Let me look...Aha, the fear mongers can stuff it up their ahem.

Most hantaviruses do not spread from human to human, but the Andes virus strain (found in South America) is the only type known to transmit between people. This human-to-human transmission is extremely rare and typically requires close, prolonged physical contact with an infected person, particularly among household members or intimate partners.
